千里獨行的絕世孤寂

10年1月29日（星期五）晚，幾位舊同學想約食飯，但這一頓飯幾乎約了一年（甚至更久）才成局，因為大部份人都有了家庭和小朋友，而且全部都要輪更工作，時間上非常難去遷就。多謝肥哥哥做統籌，終於能夠在這夜可以聚在一起吃晚飯。更難得的是，之前給他遇到失去聯絡多年的“爸爸”，順道邀請他來，令到相隔十五年之後，幾位同學兼朋友能夠在這一晚重聚，開心歡暢地共處了兩個多小時。因為有黑色會員卡的關係，幾乎可以全單半價，所以點菜和飲品方面可以說全無顧慮，眾人都興高采烈地，點一輪食物已足夠十多人吃了，而且各人都點了自己喜愛的飲品喝，感覺很好。

Nachos的栗米片夠脆，不過又是那個通病，溶了的芝士冷卻後變成“混凝土”，不便進食；Fried Mozzarella是炸芝士條，炸得金黃，Mozzarella味濃煙韌；Mashed Potato是給幼童吃的，口感幼滑而味道一般；Beef Lasagna的牛肉味被蕃茄醬蓋過了，千層麵軟硬適中；Parmesan Shrimp Pasta的大蝦約有六、七隻，份量不少，芝士汁不夠濃味，長通粉煮得剛好不太腍；Mini Trio有三款不同的迷你漢堡，所以點了兩份，賣相精美，我和女友試了蟹肉漢堡，蟹肉足料而鬆軟，蟹肉味亦濃，相信其他兩款也不錯，很快就吃光；Chicken Quesadilas外層雖然夠脆，但餡料味道不夠，祇屬一般；Ribs with spicy sauce (L)果然是非一般的豬肋骨，幾乎無需用力切開已經骨肉分離，肉味甚濃，雖然Spicy sauce不辣且似barbecue sauce多些，但勝在夠濃夠惹味！

食完主餐，跟著的環節當然是甜品時間，不過眾人都大多半飽，所以祇點了四款甜品大家一同分享。Strawberry & Ice Cream滿佈士多啤梨醬和有不少士多啤梨，在雪糕和忌廉下還有厚厚的酥餅，底下的酥餅很鬆化，配以士多啤梨醬來吃，味道不錯；Chocolate Tallcake是大堆頭的大制作，份量多得令人吃不消；Double Chocolate Cake可算這店的招牌甜品，這個甜品有別於心太軟，朱古力蛋糕呈“凹”形狀，濃濃的朱古力漿就藏在凹位內，把蛋糕切開卻有心太軟異曲同功的效果，內裡的朱古力漿味道較蛋糕濃，但混合來吃就非常美味；Ice-Cream Sundae的下層有不同口味的雪糕，上面加上極多的忌廉和一塊Oreo的曲奇，賣相和味道都同樣令人歡喜。

服務方面，負責我們檯的waitress服務勤快，而且眼見所有侍應都很努力地服務客人，奈何人客多而侍應少，有時未能即時回應客人也是情有可原的。訂檯時講明要九點鐘交檯，但過了九點仍沒有人催我們交檯，不過時間不早了，各位小孩也要回家休息，我們約九時半左右就離開了。

在此特別鳴謝食友素素豬，謝謝妳！

The 20 of us -- blended crowd with the old and new, fared well in a fulfilling meal in Ngau Tau Kok. The dinner was great, but when the crowd subsided disappearing into the night, the 20 of us were yearning for more. The sweet smell of desserts came to our senses. In a flash we arrived at the entrance of Ruby Tuesday, where fellow dessert lovers sworn never to return since they surrendered in previous instances under the glory of the legendary tallcake. While some may be deemed to fail with the lack of sweet-tooth and determination, or the courage to look past the calculating calorie-reminder in their minds, one must admit that Ruby Tuesday's desserts are nothing more than piled up army-style "the bigger the better" servings that when it minimizes back to normal sized version, are nothing more than ordinary. There are, however, several reminders for prospective diners.

1. Never go in groups. 1-4 (ideal in booths), 5-10 (2 round tables), 11-15 (3 round adjacent tables), anything beyond 15 is beyond manageable, unless you count room for standing.
2. Stick with desserts that have been blessed with the oven (baked), sundaes are not particularly impressive, only if you like whipped cream a lot (and a lot of it)
3. Opt for chocolate, ditch the berries or berry-flavored anything. My personal experience of strawberry syrup took me back with some painful childhood memories of cough syrups and bad Halloween candies.

I did not just make up these rules, here's my analysis.

Double Chocolate Cake ($76) presented itself like a Molten Chocolate Cake, except it has gone mutated in a perfect round shape with an opening on the top, where the chocolate lava was supposed to slowly oozes out. It didn't, in fact when we spoon into the cake, the lava didn't move one bit. The texture was a moist pudding with great chocolate taste. The dark chocolate stands out without the cloying sweetness after. The molten part, you will have better elsewhere.

Blondie ($76) was made the same way brownie does, except without chocolate in the batter, instead the chocolate takes form in chunks together with nuts, to offer multiple layers of textures. The blondie itself lends the browness from moist brown sugar. The darker the brown sugar, the deeper the caramel taste it is. This one is alright, and the nuts were wonderfully toasted. It will certainly benefit with ice cream.

Chocolate Tallcake ($96) -- Try to picture it. 3 layers of Devil's Food Cake (dense and moist chocolate cake), each about 2-3 inches thick, with chocolate mousse as filling. Top that with squirts of whipped cream, and go a la mode. Put this entire thing in a smaller-sized English Trifle Bowl, and an overdose of chocolate syrup squiggles. The dessert represented the typical generosity of American dining, where size really matters. The cake layers had moist crumbs and the mousse wasn't particularly sweet at all. The whipped cream has gone overboard, oh, and did I mention vanilla icecream too? The icecream oozed into the chocolate cake as each spoonful of this would be chocolate overdose. No wonder so many have surrendered under it.

Brownie Sundae ($76) -- Favorite of the evening, as simplicity spoke for itself. Dense square of chocolate brownies so fudgy that a spoon could almost stand in the middle without tilting. One bite of it (with icecream) could take you straight to chocolate heavn. As we cooed over how wonderful it tasted, I realized we have slowly pushed the tallcake away and gathered around this plated dessert instead. The hot-cold contrast may be overplayed in many desserts, but brownies + icecream should, and will never go out of style.

Strawberry and Icecream ($56) -- Something you can pull off on a lazy night at home. The fanned out strawberries around vanilla icecream was nothing surprising. The berries weren't very ripe to begin with, and that, no matter how good the ice cream is, couldn't save an otherwise sloppy attempt to impress.

Strawberry Tallcake ($96) -- The 3 layers of cake were now plain sponge cake which looked dried-up, with a pink mousse that's supposedly strawberry flavored. The syrup was the manufactured kind and strawberries were in small bits. Now this is when strawberry and whipped cream can exist in the same dish and fail to impress fans of either ingredient. Not advisable unless you like your cake crumbly and not very whipped whipped cream.

Ice cream sundae ($56 each) -- Dutch chocolate is a safe bet, with chopped up chocolate bits blending through, almost like a chunky frosty shake. Tropical Mango will not bring your senses to the tropics unless you count the egg yolk golden hue in the icecream's colour. Then there is the whipped cream again.

Having shared all the desserts with a group of 20, we've had the best and worst on the dessert menu, literally the entire dessert menu. (some of them had nachos and artichoke dip) Chocolate was embraced, and others frowned upon. Conversation flowed across the long table as we called it a night and were ready for the next gathering. We exchanged phone numbers, and candidly took pictures of each other and with each other...Now how's this to round up a wonderful night out?
